Mitsotakis: Democracy needs seriousness, credibility and truth

"It took political courage, credibility and seriousness of a leader, Constantinos Karamanlis, and the political maturity of the people to achieve this transition smoothly," he underlined stressing that these must also be the characteristics of our Democracy: seriousness, credibility, truth.

The leader of the main opposition noted that what the country needs is a leadership that is moving beyond petty interests, opportunism and populism.

"However, nowadays the opposite applies. Instead of big decisions of truth, based on the national interest, we have policies of deception and party interests that lead nowhere. They do not solve problems, they create more problems. They do not offer perspective, they lack perspective. These old ways of governance should end once and for all. This is considered necessary for Greece's restart. It is fundamental for a substantive and not a pretext national consensus, as the majority of our people wants," Mitsotakis underlined.
